Mufasa: The Lion King - An Entertaining Prequel that Complement the Awesome Original Story

I was a bit surprised when I found out about this movie cause I did not know its existence until few months ago. Nevertheless when I realized it was going to be released this week, we decided to look for the time to see it during the weekend. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

After the events of The Lion King, Simba (Donald Glover - Mr. and Mrs. Smith TV series, The Lazarus Effect etc) and Nala (BeyoncĂ© Knowles-Carter) had a female cub named Kiara (Blue Ivy-Carter). One day, Kiara was left with Pumbaa (Seth Rogen - The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Kungfu Panda etc) and Timon (Billy Eichner - Bros, Noelle etc) as Simba had to accompany Nala outside. During this time, Rafiki (John Kani - Murder Mystery 2 etc) joined them and later told the story of Kiara's grandfather, Mufasa.

Juror #2 - An Amazing Legal Thriller Directed by Clint Eastwood

While looking at new movies released yesterday on various streaming services, only this one that truly made me interested. It was still brand new and I also quite like the genre. So I decided to watch this last night. All right, I'll get to it then.

Brief Story LIne

Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult - The MenuThose Who Wish Me Dead etc) got a call for jury duty which he tried to get out of since his wife Allison Crewson (Zoey Deutch -  Zombieland: Double Tap, Not Okay etc) was in the last trimester of high risk pregnancy. However the Assistant DA Faith Killebrew (Toni Collette - Nightmare Alley, The Sixth Sense etc) and the public defender Eric Resnick (Chris Messina - Based on a True Story TV series, Air etc) have no objection about him and he was appointed as one of the 12 juries. The case itself was about the murder of a young woman where the accused was her boyfriend James Sythe (Gabriel Basso - The Night Agent TV series, Hillbilly Elegy etc).

(TV SERIES) Light Shop - An Intelligently Done Mystery Drama Series with a Touch of Horror and Plenty of Emotional Moments

I was aware about this series from the news I read few weeks ago which sounded intriguing. So when it was finally released on Disney+ on December 4, I patiently wait until the finale was about to be shown on this Wednesday before I started watching two days before and finished it last night. OK why don't I just get right to the series then?

Brief Story Line

Story focused on a group of people who were experiencing strange occurrence and somehow were attracted to a bright Light Shop in the middle of a dark alley, managed by the shop keeper Won-young (Ju Ji-hoon - Kingdom TV series, Ransomed etc). Among them were a man named Hyun-min (Uhm Tae-goo - The Great Battle, My Sweet Mobster TV series etc) who saw a mysterious young woman always waiting at his final bus stop (Kim Seol-hyun - Memoir of a Murderer, Summer Strike TV series etc), a high school girl Hyun-ju (Shin Eun-soo - Homme Fatale, Twinkling Watermelon TV series etc) who always went to the light shop buying bulb for her mother Yu-hui (Lee Jung-eun - The Frog TV series, Hommage etc) and several others.
